The Delta Blues I

This is a peice I did for an Earth Day Show. I took a picture of the Missippi River Delta as it looked in 2001 and made it on the floor of the gallery. It is called the Delta Blues. It is made out of unfired clay, water, blue tempera paint and vermiculite. The quote on the wall is from stanza 31 of Song O Myself by Walt Whitman and says
"31
I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey work of the
stars,
And the pismire is equally perfect, and a grain of sand, and the egg
of the wren,
And the tree-toad is a chef-d'oeuvre for the highest,
And the running blackberry would adorn the parlors of heaven,
And the narrowest hinge in my hand puts to scorn all machinery,
And the cow crunching with depress'd head surpasses any statue,
And a mouse is miracle enough to stagger sextillions of infidels. "

The Labyrinth gets a little Bling!

I added some porcelain bling to the Labyrinth today, as well as a new plaque.
The flowers are blooming and the sculpture is surrounded by a sea of purple thrift and white clover.

The Labyrinth in spring, freshly mowed.

The Memory Labyrinth by Christopher Scott Brumfield

Part of my deal with the Army Corps for use of the land that my sculpture is on is that I mow in and around my sculpture for the two years that it is place. I let it go three weeks and the grass got four feet tall! So here are some pictures. I think it kind of looks like a crop circle.
